Most students in the universities at present are considered millennials. Typically, this generational cohort is born from 1981 onwards. Considering their behavioral temperament, they are accused of being entitled and deficient in motivation and accountability. Further, other generations perceive millennials as having less desirable work behaviors a...
There has been an increasing interest in the millennial generation and scholars have embarked on different enquiries to understand their desired career projections, work ethic, and consumption practices. Typically, millennials are individuals born from 1981 to 2000 and the said generation has also been identified as digital natives. Consumer insigh...
Social networking platforms were originally conceived to enable individuals to engage in various forms of online interactions. As social networking sites robustly permeated different facets of society, they have been commonly grouped under the more generic term "social media." Social media has become a powerful force in contemporary life, paving th...
In this essay, we examine stylistic resources that underscore spectacle and extravagance in Joey Gosiengfiao’s “Temptation Island” (1980) to explore how the film utilizes exaggeration to dramatize camp sensibility, with the aim of broadening the notion of cinematic excess. Camp, for the most part, is considered a sensibility which is a response to...
This paper examines enduring fears and anxieties about 'Chineseness' that widely and persistently circulate in the Philippine cultural imaginary.

Vietnam has implemented hedging strategies in response to the geopolitical rivalry between China and the United States in the Indo-Pacific region.

During the Duterte presidency from June 2016 to June 2022, the government of the Philippines limited its affinity with the United States and pursued an ostensibly pro-China policy. This bold move took place amid the ongoing US–China rivalry. This paper carries out a retrospective examination of Duterte's China policy from the perspective of Philipp...
This article explores persistent notions regarding women in the Philippines, especially concerning executive positions historically dominated by male incumbents. The article delves into the historical and influences that possibly leads to the underrepresentation of women in executive roles. This also prompts questions about the underlying perceptio...
This paper examines Philippine foreign policy under the Duterte government (2016–2022). During this period, Philippine foreign policy is widely acknowledged to have undergone dramatic shifts, with the government making friendly overtures towards China at the cost of its traditional alliance with the US. From a foreign policy analysis perspective, t...
When great powers such as the United States and China grow especially hawkish with more uncertainties, how does a smaller state react to such a complex and dangerous territorial conflict? Given the competing frames of influence between China and the United States, what are the underlying reasons for the shift in the Philippines’ foreign policy? Thi...
Charlson Ong’s Blue Angel, White Shadow (2010) is a hard-boiled fiction that revolves around the issues of crime, corruption, and death in a postcolonial Southeast Asian state. Predominantly dark, gloomy, and mysterious, the mood of the narrative establishes a strongly morose reading experience. The narrative world portrayed in the novel is simulta...
For the longest time, people have relegated expressions of care and compassion as something trivial or frivolous; but these are the gestures that remind us of our humanity. Giving out a hug, sharing a meal with someone, and having a face-to-face conversation have now been set aside in favor of social distancing. With your extreme contagiousness, di...

A number of attempts have been made to include animals in explorations in the humanities and social sciences.

There have been debates pertaining to the inclusion of animals in scholarly discourses in the field of sociology. Notably, human exceptionalism...
The sustained economic growth of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), at around 5.0%, more than underscores the status of the region as a global economic powerhouse.

Research on Chinese diasporic cultural productions has been long dominated by studies on Chinese Americans and an Eastern-Western transnational framework. However, cultural production by the ethnic Chinese has developed discernible nodes outside that exclusively Western sphere. This is particularly evident in Southeast Asia, a region with the largest number of ethnic Chinese communities with distinct cultural forms borne out of cultural contact. This edited volume aims to explore what it might mean to relocate scholarly discussions of ethnic Chinese minority culture outside the exclusive nexus of East-West models and into one that is focused on Asia. This volume aims to rethink dominant models in Postcolonial and Diaspora Studies that foregrounds inter-Asia referencing as it deprivileges Western theoretical models through critical interpretations of literature, film, performance, and other cultural productions by the diasporic/ethnic Chinese in Southeast Asia. Toward our goal, we cordially invite chapter proposals that examine the identity/subjectivity of ethnic Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. We are particularly interested in book chapters that will challenge or interrogate dominant concepts developed in Postcolonial and Diaspora Studies as it proposes new and dynamic interpretations of literary, cinematic, and other cultural texts.
We invite 250-word proposals for a 6,000 to 10,000 word book chapter by a single author or by multiple authors. Please email proposals as MS Word (.docx) attachments on or before July 31, 2022. Proposals should be accompanied by a short bio note and CV of all authors.
Brill has expressed interest in this volume and will be considered to be part of the “Overseas Chinese” book series. Also, we already have some authors onboard, so we are looking for a few more contributors as our scope demands.
